paD jaen mere jism pe lakh aable 'akbar'
paDh kar jo koi phunk de april may june
Akbar Allahabadi
paida hua wakil to shaitan ne kaha
lo aaj hum bhi sahib-e-aulad ho gae
seeing the lawyer born, satan was moved to say
lo and behold I have become a father today
Akbar Allahabadi
tayyar the namaz pe hum sun ke zikr-e-hur
jalwa buton ka dekh ke niyat badal gai
Akbar Allahabadi
tum nak chaDhate ho meri baat pe ai shaiKH
khinchungi kisi rose main ab kan tumhaare
Akbar Allahabadi
teri zulfon mein dil uljha hua hai
bala ke pech mein aaya hua hai
Akbar Allahabadi
tifl mein bu aae kya man bap ke atwar ki
dudh to Dibbe ka hai talim hai sarkar ki
Akbar Allahabadi
tumhaare waz mein tasir to hai hazrat-e-waiz
asar lekin nigah-e-naz ka bhi kam nahin hota
Akbar Allahabadi
tashbih tere chehre ko kya dun gul-e-tar se
hota hai shagufta magar itna nahin hota
Akbar Allahabadi
tahsin ke laeq tera har sher hai 'akbar'
ahbab karen bazm mein ab wah kahan tak
Akbar Allahabadi
